GAME CHANGES

During production, we have encountered some frustrating obstacles. The enemy cars that are supposed to kill the players weren't working properly and the coders didn't find a solution in time to fix it. BUT, we have changed the enemy type. We changed it into a rocket that comes towards the players. We also added the spike-strips that will invert the controls when not avoided.

It targets the player when spawning and when it hits you, well, you lose a heart. They are also destructible using the laser and the rocket launcher. Destroying a rocket gives you points, we also added a combo multiplier that allows players to gain extra points the more rockets they destroy in a certain timeframe.

The player movement has now been worked on better. 

Unfortunately, we could not put any power-ups in the game, instead, we have put coins that you can collect in-game. It works like the power-up, code-wise, but it has a different function now.


That's it for Sprint 2 of our production! See you next week for the polishing phase!
